Lot Description

EX NAFTZGER, N-2. A stunning, brilliant, fiery RED Braided Hair large cent that boasts the superb Naftzger pedigree. Offering about 90% of the original RED color, the remaining 10% is just beginning to mellow. A beautiful, lustrous near-GEM Mint State coin, this beauty ranks as #1 in the Noyes Census and tied for #1 in the Grellman Census. PCGS 28, NGC 11, CAC 3. This coin brought $3,335 in the original September 2009 sale of the Naftzger Collection, where it made its first appearance since the May 1952 Numismatic Gallery Auction. This coin's great eye appeal and pedigree will vault it beyond the the PCGS Price Guide value of $2,500 when the hammer finally falls. Good luck! Cert. Number 18900395 PCGS # 1894
